Printmaking Part 1

These are 2 assignments from my Printmaking class. The first, Iron in London, is a reduction lino cut. In the assignment we were to have something organic in the print. I decided to use a portion of an iron fence, and try to make something very industrial have an organic quality to it. The second, entitled Alfie, is a woodblock print of my roommate's Dog. I enjoyed the way the wood cut, and decided on Alfie because I wanted something flowing and with movement so that I could really take advantage of the texture of the wood.
